The OSHA and Lamar Alliance provides Lamar employees and others in the outdoor
advertising industry with information, guidance, and access to training
resources that will help them protect employees' health and safety, particularly
in reducing and preventing exposure to falls, electrical, struck-by and
trenching hazards, as well as hazards related to the operation of aerial lifts.

In addition to these formal meetings, the Alliance coordinators from both
groups maintained regular contact throughout the reporting period to monitor the
Alliance’s progress and results.
